Great work!  Thank you for sharing this.  It seems that there isn't too much Latin American music in here. 

You bring a lot of edge to this movement, bringing out many of its angular qualities.  You've also chosen to take a liberally sided approach to navigating the copious amount of metre changes at times mixed with wild jumps.  Your interpretation airs more on the side of achieving the large sonorities as opposed to trying to keep with the sometimes off-balanced rhythm. 

I created a thread a while ago inquiring about this movement, perhaps you could chime in with your own thoughts:

Looking forward to more of your recordings.
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
